Chapter 13. Handling and Displaying Arrays of Data

In this chapter, you will learn about Java arrays that allow us to manipulate a potentially huge amount of data in an organized and efficient manner. We will also use a close Java relation to arrays, ArrayLists and see the differences between them.

Once we are comfortable with handling a large amount of data, we will see what the Android API has that will help us to easily connect our new-found data handling skills to the user interface without breaking a sweat.

The topics in this chapter are as follows:

  • A random diversion
  • Handling large amount of data with arrays
  • A simple array example
  • A dynamic array example
  • A multidimensional array example
  • ArrayLists
  • The enhanced for loop
  • ListViews and BaseAdapter
